The rest of the trip passes in awkward silence, and the only things moving are Ryohei's hands as they steer the wheel.

However, at the sight of the sandy beach and the flurry of activity upon it, Keita is the first to return to his cheery demeanour and Ryohei has barely stopped the car before the tall singer throws himself out the door and bounds off for the shoreline.

Keita's child-like antics succeed in bringing small smiles to most of their faces. Ryohei too, chuckles like a father watching his son, and helps to unload the picnic stuff with YunHo and Junsu.

Everyone, save Keita who is now belting out a random medley of summer songs as he splashes about in the water, has a hand in bringing the stuff towards the choice sandy spot for their picnic. They do this with smiles on their faces, but they are quiet still.
